Keith,
The levels of support are for people who want to join.

This link tells the costs of research for members and nonmembers. Everyone pays if the
Swenson Center staff does the research but members pay less.
"To request a search in our records by a staff member, please print out the research
request form in either format below and mail it to us along with your payment. Research
conducted by a staff member is $30 per hour and $20 per hour for Swenson Center
members."
If you go to the Swenson Center to research, you will need an appointment. You can't
just "walk in". Members can research in person for free. There is a cost for
nonmembers to research there.
"The Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center is a private, non-profit,
member-supported organization dedicated to providing resources for the study of Swedish
immigration to North America. For that reason, the fee for non-members conducting
genealogy research at the Swenson Center is $10 per day ($5 per half day)."
This is the form they need filled out, whether you have them do the research or go there
instead. The bold-faced sections are required.

There is no "log-in" page since the records are not online. Their records will
most likely never be online. They are far too extensive. Everyone can see their entire
site, whether they are members or not.
